Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

my school use unix, and i can make a directory called public_html in home directory, then i can put my website in it. the website can be browse by others with address like http://xxxxx.edu/~username
is it anyway to do it in my own linux??i am using fedora 3.

o, i thought linux have apache when i installed it...><
mac os x is easier to do then...i have a powerbook and just have to check something in sys preference, then it tells me the address of my website, and i just have to put my website into the folder called Sites.

/var/www/html is the place for root, so i think it's not that. my school one is like every user can have their own website. so the public_html folder put in the home folder, that's will be it.
and how to enable it?security level?i checked that http already. server configuration?i dont see apache there...just many service that i don know about ><

Apache is the "httpd" service. As for this particular configuration (to enable ~/public_html), I don't know it (never used it), but it should be somewhere in Apache's config. Go to Apache config dir as root (under /etc), and do that:

Code:

# grep -ril "public_html" config/

Sorry if my instructions are not accurate; I don't have Linux at hand now.

Originally posted by theYinYeti In Mandrake, there's Apache too, so probably in Fedora also. The main pages are in /var/www/html if I remember correctly. And what you describe works exactly the same. It just has to be enabled.

apache is not installed by default, but it''s quite easy to install it in fedora3 anyway. after i installed it, i can put the website as you say: /var/www/html.
however, i cannot find that apache directory, it's not under etc. and only root can put a website, is it anyway i can let user put their website too??

you can change user file permission on the folder i know in suse linux if your log in as root you just right click the folder and click permissions an dyou can change them so user's can read , write , execute or what ever you want the user to do
